Since 1993, FTC Continuity Services has delivered a full suite of payment systems as a business continuity solution. And, like our clients, we are no longer focused only on disaster recovery. Today, the objective is on information capture strategies and availability — helping our customers manage the potential risks associated with recovering check, image, remittance / lockbox, work area, and mail processing operations.

FTC Continuity Service was the first check and remittance processing center devoted solely to serving the disaster recovery needs of its members. Industry professionals helped design, engineer and manage the center. FTC recently expanded its service offering to include operational recovery, work area and co-location services. This includes capture, sort, encode, statement print/mail and mail extraction - all supported 24 x 7- as well cabinet and server hosting. Our 40,000 square-foot facility is equipped with its own 750kw / 460v diesel generator.

In the event a disaster strikes a member’s own facility, that institution immediately continues operations at the our Recovery Center. The Recovery Center is equipped with all of the following image systems - IBM 3890XP, NCR 7780, Unisys NDP600 and NDP2000 transports. OPEX MPS 30, 50 and 150, as well as Bell+Howell Mailstar 500s and the necessary supplemental equipment are also available. Redundant hosting/co-location services are available and designed to meet your needs.

The member maintains total control of its work in process and operates with its own employees, procedures, schedules, software, etc. Periodic testing and Turnkey Services at the Recovery Center assure rapid restoration of full production and a successful recovery. Telecommunications options include T1, DS3, ISDN, INTERNET AND HOT NODE, as well as VPN capabilities. Annual testing is included and can be either on-site or by VPN.
